So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.
Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Cor 15:58)

Today Reminder – 30 November 2015

A
reminder for today

For
we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do
the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10)

My dear friend, you are a masterpiece. You are a
beautiful painting that should be displayed and not hidden. You are beautiful
in every aspect of the word and you are perfect. Time makes wine more valuable
and time makes you more beautiful. With every passing minute you become more
and more like the one that created you thus you are more and more beautiful.
You have been designed by the master builder and you were carefully planned and
designed so that each part of you is made perfectly for His wonderful purpose.
You are a diamond and you are made to shine so that all can see your light as
you fill up with His love and joy.

So today I want to remind you that you are perfect in
every way. God made you and this means that you have no flaws no matter what
the world says. This body is not who you are it is the spirit that lives in
this body that makes you so beautiful. You heart and the very essence of you
makes you an absolute masterpiece. You are awesome, my friend.

Lord I pray that you will let us see ourselves through
your eyes so that we can see with how much love you made us and how much we are
like you. Lord come into our hearts and let us be less of our worldly selves
and more like you. In Jesus name.

Book for the month

Many Christians feel bombarded by the messages they hear and the trends they see in our rapidly changing world. How can we resist being conformed to the pattern of this world? What will faithfulness to Christ look like in these tumultuous times? How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail? In This is Our Time, Trevin Wax provides snapshots of twenty-first-century American Life in order to help Christians understand the times. By analyzing our common beliefs and practices (smartphone habits, entertainment intake, and our views of shopping, sex, marriage, politics, and life’s purpose), Trevin helps us see through the myths of society to the hope of the gospel. As faithful witnesses to Christ, Trevin writes, we must identify the longing behind society’s most cherished myths (what is good, true, beautiful), expose the lie at the heart of these myths (what is false and damaging), and show how the gospel tells a better story – one that exposes the lie but satisfies the deeper longing.
